Patent Images
1. A method for reporting a patient'"'"'s health parameter, comprising:
- (a) collecting measurements of one or more health parameters;
(b) deriving measurement data from the measurements and wirelessly transmitting the measurement data in transmission episodes of less than about one minute to a processing hub proximate the patient for processing the data; and
(c) at the processing hub (hub) processing the data and selectively transmitting data processed by the hub (hub data) in episodes of transmission of less than about one minute via commercial data transmission network to a health data management unit, which is distal the patient and can process the hub data for patient management.

Abstract
An apparatus for reporting a patient'"'"'s health parameter to a remote data management center. The apparatus has measurement units and a home hub. A measurement unit includes a sensor for sensing measurements of a health parameter and a transmitter for transmitting wirelessly data derived from the measurements. The home hub receives the wireless transmission of measurement data, processes the measurement unit data for effecient transfer, and transmits selectively data processed by thereby via public a data transmission network to a health data management unit.
